I have been a house sitter - looking after folks' homes while they travel. After driving around Australia on my own I have settled at Beachmere, north of Brisbane. Now it's time to write.

Grass Trees

Along the highway north from Yanchep there were thousands of Grass Trees on both sides of the highway, and so many times I longed to stop and take a photo, but further on I came to a National Park, which I believe is the Wanagarren National Park, with a park where one could drive, stop and take photos of the local scenery, and later on I was able to take photos of more. There are so many, and the sights are spectacular.

I remember that we used to call these trees Blackboys or in South Australia, sometimes they were called Yukka I think. These days, not to cause offence to anyone, they are referred to as grass trees. There are zillions of them in WA - and quite spectacular.

My Journey

This blog has been about my 'house sitting' where I have spent weeks, or months caring for the home and pets of folks who travel. I too have enjoyed much travel, detailed in this blog and Adventures of an Aussie English Teacher. At the end of 2012, I set off on another adventure - driving on my own around Australia, taking photos, writing, blogging, and perhaps getting occasional opportunities to do workshops on Blogging, Writing, Writing Life Stories, Creating E-books, Photobooks, or Bamboo.

I left Brisbane on November 25th, 2012, returning on April 30th, 2013. In June I moved to Beachmere, Queensland.
